Susan Bysiewicz on Abortion

Required "Plan B" contraception at Catholic hospitals

"I am proud to receive the endorsement of NOW/PAC and their recognition of my work to bring more equality to women in their home, at the workplace, and in public life." In the state legislature, Bysiewicz served on the Judiciary
Committee, voting against every anti-choice bill, including parental consent and limiting access to clinics. Her strong pro-choice stand continued as secretary of state, when she demanded that Catholic hospitals provide Plan B emergency contraception.

Always protect a woman's right to choose

I was inspired to public service when as a student I studied the life and work of Ella Grasso, Connecticut's first female governor. We need to follow her example and expand opportunities for women across our state.

Stand up for a woman's right to
choose: Susan will always protect a woman's right to choose. She supports making sure women have access to reproductive health care so medical decisions are made between a woman and her doctor.
